The 1 cup coffee maker technology has been around for a while. What really propelled sales of these coffee
brewing machines has been new technology. The old 1 cup and 4 cup coffee makers required a filter and
ground coffee and the brewing time was slow. Fast forward to today and the new brewing machines can
deliver a nice freshly brewed cup of coffee in less than a minute. The new 1 cup coffee maker is extremely
versatile because of the development of the pod system. Pods are pre-packaged coffee encased in plastic.
With pods, you just place the pod in the machine along with the water and your done. The single cup coffee
maker is best suited for light coffee drinkers and those who are on the go. If you like hot chocolate or tea,
these machines will quickly heat the water. Another advantage is that you can use different flavors and types
of coffee by using the different pods available. This really comes in handy if you like traditional coffee
and you spouse likes flavored coffee. If you entertain, it would be advisable to keep a traditional 12 cup
coffee maker around. This works out perfect as you can have the traditional coffee and then if anyone
wants to try out a specifc flavor using a pod, you will have that for them too.
Today there are over 200 kinds of pods and most but not all are universal. There are some single serve coffee makers
like the Keuring coffee maker which require using their own pods. With Keurig, they use the proprietary k-cups. Ensure
you read the technical data and the reviews to determine what features are needed. Another item to remember is that
these machines have narrow tubes for the water and they get scaled up and can cause problems if you don't clean them on
a quarterly basis. You can use vinegar and run it thru the system.
